Xmas
On a budget.
Who's on a strict budget This Xmas?
Is it just me or is anyone else sick of spending near on a small fortune each year?
I figured this year i'm earning more than I've done in my life, yet I have less disposable income than ever before
Looks like everyone is getting hand made cards this year!

That is too true Mr 180!!
This year I have even more people to buy for, damn my family expanding & me being so popular haha..
Seriously though, its hard, especially as this month I was supposed to put a bit away for xmas but I have £2 to my name untill payday!

i know exactly qwhat you mean.
i am an xmas person through and through. i sually go mad at xmas and spend loads, but with this credit crunch, my pay cut from work, and having to take a second full time job (yer, thats right, i work 2 full time jobs, one in the day and one at night! 85 hr weeks!) i cant afford to do anything this year...
xmas is cancelled.
i was the last person i thought would be a scrooge!
but... hey
bah humbug!

Never understood why people feel they HAVE to spend money at christmas.
Presents are bollocks, it's all about being with family and friends and having a great time together.

the whole point of xmas for me is a mega xmas dinner, a few whiskeys, and maybe a cigar with the old man, and after we are all drunk getting my mum and dad drunkenly stoned... sheer giggles to be had there, watching your dad route through the kitchen looking for hula hoops coz he is on the munchies!

thats how xmas should be. but somehow its been turned in to an event where every one has to spend loads of money on presents that half the time people dont even want. PLus its a christian holiday, how many people who celebrate christmas go to church or even believe in god?
Im just looking forward to christmas dinner and a few lagers with the family. Goin to be a cheaper this year this year though, as I dont have a gf to buy for
